Mm Or Steeda Lca's ????

I am going to replace my stock control arms and don't know what brand to go with, any help would be great from members that have or know of someone that has these on their cars. I only use my car on the street, no track time whatsoever. Things like noise, fit and finish etc.....
Here they are.....http://www.themustangshop.ca/site/ca...r=TU1STENBMQ== and these. http://www.steeda.ca/catalogue_product.asp?id=687

On my '89 I went with Southside upper and lowers. They are a little noisey on the street but they sure do make the tires plant at the track. Dont know if that is what you are after but they get the from me. Good luck.

Though I have not installed yet, I have the Steeda LCA's. I did some research and found out that they are not that noisy and the MM and the Steeda's are about the best ones out there. good luck.

I'll probably be installing the MM LCA's in about a month. Having Poly on both ends (a la Steeda) will create a lot of rear suspension bind. From what I've read, poly is less likely to transmit road noise than a spherical bushing.

I bought the MM arms and they quality is bar to none. I have a set with double Solid bushings on both ends. No increased noise in the car and I naver have to worry about worn Poly bushings again.

I've heard much the same thing as G-force.

IMHO only, MM parts tend to be more "hard-core", whereas Steeda stuff tends to be OK for occasional track use and still streetable. Both are quality stuff however.

I am curious as to why you want them if you only drive on the street?

I am sure any stang could benefit from these, you don't have to race it to want to improve the handling.......

I assume that question was directed towards NXGHOST?

I'd be more worried about durability having poly on both ends (torn torque boxes anyone?) than having spherical on one end.
